Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? After treatment, the WebQuest experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on the Science Achievement Test (p<.05). → Ahmet Unal 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study with control group; 49 7th graders (24 experimental, 25 control) in a public elementary school in Mugla, Turkey. Post-test means favored the WebQuest group and "the difference was found to be significant (p<.05)"; no effect size printed.
"The mean score of the experimental group (X=24,17) was calculated to be higher than the mean score of the control group (X=16,80). In order to see if this difference is significant or not, t-test was performed and the difference was found to be significant (p<.05)."
